As some of you may already be aware, we have begun construction of a new forum as a rebirth of PHO and continuing on into future projects.
This forum is called Silph Co., and can be found by clicking the banner below. We are in the process of transferring some of our old resources, and the forum is open for posting. It will be sad to see PHO go, but we look forward to a bright future with Silph.
The forums here will be moved to an archive, and the url will redirect to the new site in the coming days/weeks.

Hack IdeasHave a new idea for a hack and want to share? Feel free to in here!

INTRO:
Hi There, Welcome to the Team Silver Destiny Thread! I am not requiring the best
hackers out there but I would like you to have some experience. All help is
appreciated but I don’t require you to be a pro all that I ask is that you
are dedicated and work on this hack at least 2 or 3 times a
week whenever you can. I also have a sequel planned with the story for the
first two games work out but it is tentative if you have ideas to put in I
will consider all ideas I want this to be the entire teams hack not just
mine I want this to be a community project. I do however ask that if you
do want to help that you are committed to it and you don't just help once
then we never speak again. I am very flexible and understand that everyone
has a life and can't work on a hack 24/7 so I won't get mad if I don't hear
from you for a day or two

Hack Info
Name: Pokemon Silver Destiny
ROM Base: Fire Red
Language: English May go for Translations Afterwards If I can find someone to do it and it is a successful hack
Progress: About 80% of the first BETA which goes up to the 1st gym maybe ruins of alph and like 3 towns and 4 Routes

What's Done
100% of maps needed for first alpha and beta. Most of the scripts and tiles.

Disclaimer
Some of the names and locations, and events of this hack are based off of Pokemon Gold Silver and Crystal. This Hack will also contain things that might not have been in the game's story that I or other team members have come up with. This is a Non-Profit Fan Based Game. With Ideas from the fans who just want to contribute to the Pokemon fan base. Please support the official release. (Insert legal mumbo jumbo here) I claim no rights to pokemon. Pokemon belongs to Nintendo and Game freak.

Story Info
So it is basically the events of G/S/C but from Silver's (the rival) point of view) but definitely not the story we all know. Giratina grows restless in the distortion world and wants out to get revenge on arceus but the only problem is he cannot do it on his own. So he takes control of many pokemon and humans to do his bidding. You wake up in a strange region that you have never been to with no memory other than you must free Giratina and that your name is Silver. The only way to free Giratina is to break the 3 seals contained by Azelf Uxie and Mesprit the keepers of knowledge emotion and willpower. The gym leaders are in a secret organization that constantly trys to stop you and you must defeat them before they can stop you

Spoiler:

But you break free of his control and regain all your memories (around the 3rd or 4th gym) and as punishment Giratina captures Mars,your mom, and drags her to the distortion world and you have to travel to sinnoh to free her (second game) but first you have to break team rocket free of Giratinas control

Main Cast
Silver- Our main hero yes hero he is a good guy in this game xD

Ethan-The foolish child who is always in your way

Demetria- A woman who watches the main hero she has a mysterious past. She always seems to show up in random places

Spoiler:

Later to be discovered as cresselia

Silas- A man who lives in the shadows that always tries to stop you from completing your journey

Spoiler:

Darkrai who under Giratinas control tries to stop you. Acts as a second rival

Rose-She is the first person you meet in Johto with flaming red hair just like you could there be a connection?

Masked man-He seems to have known you before you lost your memory and is always asking after someone named green. Just who is this man?

Planned Features

-An Exciting New Story
-New trainer sprites
-New Trainer Classes
-Ruins, Factories, and Mountains
-Retyping where I see fit
-Some 4/5 gen pokemon
-Starter give aways. There will be people throughout Johto that will give you one of the starters so keep your eyes peeled
-DNS system
-The Battleground (A new concept kind of like the trainer tower but after each badge you advance another room and at the end there is a special event)
-The return of...Wait for it... Joey's TOP PERCENTAGE RATTATA XD he will appear more than once to battle you
-New sprites I really don't like the gen 3 sprites
-Appearances from team Aqua and Magma and maybe team galactic if I can find a spriter
-Some plot points from the adventures manga
-You start out with a sneasel
-You can only pick totodile as a starter but the starter give aways make up for it
-649 pokemon

Help needed:
-Icons for the pokemon in party
-Scripting
-Map warps I don't know why this is just so confusing for me
-Not exactly a job but if you plan on playing I beg for your opinion on whether or not to include the theory of Giovanni being Silver's Dad
-Some trainer OW sprites for a few characters
-Cry inserter
-In battles trainer sprites (like how you battle a trainer you see them before they send out a pokemon)
-Someone who can change the name and sprites of badges
-Trainer editor (as far as editing which pokemon a trainer has and putting in the battles as I don't know how to do this :P )
-Tile inserter not many but there are some very essential tiles needed for the first beta
-I need some story line helpers don't be offended if you apply we start talking and I don't accept your ideas I am really open unless it conflicts or changes the feel of the game
